I made my niece's daughter a quilt when the baby was born - I was in town the day she got it - we spent the day together - nary a word of thanks. Then when the same daughter 'needed' a quilt for baby dolls - I thought it was so neat in this day and age that a little girl was even playing dolls - I, unasked, made her a quilt for her babies. I know she uses it and I know she loves it but still not a word from my niece in regard to either quilt - she recently had another child - that poor boy will freeze because this is one aunt who did not make him a quilt. I've learned to make them for the thankful ones...
